House Ala is - and has been for generations - nearly synonymous with the Gaplands. This is no surprise, since they control nearly a third of the region. They've recently had their viceroyship revoked after a massive scandal that left their coffers nearly dry, but they are probably large enough to weather the storm. Getting back into the king's good graces is an entirely different matter.

House Borovopos lends itself out as mercenaries. Most of it's land is dedicated to training and support infrastructure. They run a profit, but only just, and they're out of their land so much that they haven't realized their overreliance on terrain.
10 Defense; 35 Status; 20 Land; 35 Population; 55 Power; 10 Wealth

House Gasharde is a merchant house, and is a new arrival in the North Coast. They supplanted the former House, Hashid by undercutting every single one of their deals for five years. Their purses are only half as big as they were, but they hope to have them full again soon.
10 Defense; 40 Status; 40 Land; 15 Population; 15 Power; 45 Wealth

House Gundukzar is named after the city they inherited, not after a family. Gundukzar was the last great bastion of the dwarves, and there was much wealth still left when man arrived to plunder it. Sadly, years of upkeep and recruitment to get men to live where they were never meant to be comfortable has meant the coffers of Gundukzar are much smaller than they used to be.

House Halas has a small army for its size, but they also have a relation to the King in their family, so they feel rather safe relying on the King to protect them as they build strength.
20 Defense; 35 Status; 30 Land; 20 Population; 20 Power; 40 Wealth

House Irave are true northerners. They eschew any personal gain in order to stand ready for any invasion. Both their defenses and their armies are nearly unmatched.
60 Defense; 10 Status; 2 Land; 30 Population; 20 Power; 3 Wealth

House Kirad's balanced and planned approach to expansion has brought them this far, but it may be reaching its limit. They've failed to keep attention at court, and although their military is strong, it's believed to be bleeding the people dry.
35 Defense; 10 Status; 25 Land; 25 Population; 35 Power; 25 Wealth

House Mytheas is a middling house, and it's family shows no signs of ambition. They have their hands full with their populace and the weather, and they're content with that.
30 Defense; 20 Status; 20 Land; 45 Population; 30 Power; 20 Wealth

House Nanelle sprang up so quick in the for North Coast that no one even realized they had no charter until they showed up to buy one -- along with their first shipment of silver. They have little military to speak of, but have recently signed a contract with House Borovopos to supply security for their cargo.
15 Defense; 45 Status; 15 Land; 15 Population; 15 Power; 60 Wealth

House Omaa has won the right to mine the north, but it's hard work, and no one wants to live there. Defenses are mostly in ruins, and they have very little army to speak of, so if trouble came, they'd be found lacking.
15 Defense; 35 Status; 50 Land; 15 Population; 25 Power; 25 Wealth

House Osberg stands at the pass to the Breach, and serves as Scymira's last line of defense if anything should come over the mountains. However, while they're quick to play up their past accomplishments at court, the true state of affairs in their lands is rather less secure.
15 Defense; 60 Status; 15 Land; 15 Population; 15 Power; 45 Wealth

House Rayes is rebuilding after the last ascension war. They're both hurting for workers and for defenses. Still, they field one of the better armies of Scymira and have deep pockets.
15 Defense; 35 Status; 30 Land; 15 Population; 45 Power; 45 Wealth

House Sellelanar is an ancient seafaring house, but although they've experienced fairly steady growth, it has also been slow and without inspiration.
45 Defense; 30 Status; 15 Land; 35 Population; 35 Power; 5 Wealth

House Sheono is built on loyalty to Scymira and the laser-focused pursuit of economic might. This is their motto, and like most mottos says almost absolutely nothing. People that say absolutely nothing while speaking a lot should probably not be trusted.
25 Defense; 45 Status; 5 Land; 20 Population; 20 Power; 50 Wealth

House Vsere plays politics to perfection, caring for little else. It's no surprise that their holdings are so small, but for them, it's an effective price to pay for having the king's ear.
30 Defense; 75 Status; 5 Land; 10 Population; 30 Power; 5 Wealth

House Zubech is the king's right hand when it comes to military action. Sworn to serve Scymira first over a hundred years ago, Zubech automatically jumps in to any battle that threatens either the royal family or Scymira as a whole, and their well-equipped army ensures that any conflict they're involved in ends quickly.

What are the Houses that were most involved in the Bloody War?
Mar 11, 2020 9:45 am
let me see... I'm interest in dealing with...

House Borovopos: Mercenaries and adventurers are useful to keep the beasts and more savage tribes in check, maintaining the peace on the Headlands

House Gasharde: mercantile ambitions of House Tamer would bring these two houses to the negotiations table

House Gundukzar This failed expedition to the Headlands would have been supported by Tamer. Likewise, maybe Dwarven refugees were welcomed on Tamer's lands when things got violent, making us "old rivals"

House Kirad: Headlands. possible old ties and alliance or trade deals

House Omaa following from Gundukzar, Tamer naval merchants and dwarven refuges could have brought us into collaboration

House Sheono economic rival on the south seas.

House Zubech too close to not have contact with. Their experts provid military training to Tame's royal guards (those guarding the branch of the royal family)

House Vsere: too close. Tamer got dragged into the politics when they gained access to the court and trade and political deal were made with this house.

Almost everyone was involved somehow, but the big players were Borovopos, Reyas, Zubech, and Kirad. Alliances switched a couple times before the end of the war, but ended up with Zubech and Kirad on top.

P.S. I just realized that I forgot to put the royal house on the map, but it technically doesn't matter because if you attack them, EVERY npc house will come down on you, probably. Maybe not. If you get it into your head that attacking them is a good idea, I'll add them in.

i'd like the Royal house to be added in, there are other ways to mess with a House other than attacking.

I thought Revelos was the royal house?
Mar 13, 2020 7:55 am
the royal house is a lie
Mar 13, 2020 8:00 am
The royal house is cake?

House Kaek. Perhaps...
Mar 13, 2020 4:18 pm
Or maybe House GLaDOS, ha ha ;)
